There was playable version of the original Shenmue for PS2 and Xbox
Unfortunately, it was never released, but probably not because of the reasons you'd expect.
Silent Hill 2 (the new one) — Ronan's Internet Content Venue
My reposts of my old Silent Hill reviews took a lot longer to complete than I had anticipated due to health issues, but finally they’ve been slapped up onto the internet and I’m free to talk about the main event: Bloober Team’s remake of Silent Hill 2. I’m actually kind of glad it took me this long

@hanselthecaretaker2 and @Dalisclock, most Metal Gear games are remakes of each other. Something Pat mentions and I got it time stamped in his first time Metal Gear 2 playthrough.

2:28 for people that don't know the two dudes are Jason West ( left) and Vince Zampella (right). They were the founders of Infinity Ward and the creators of Call of Duty. They were fired by Activisions CEO Bobby Kottick in the middle of 2010. They essentially got stabbed in the back, since they were about to take IW independent again and also take the MW IP with them. That's why MW2 up until a few weeks before launch didn't have COD in the title.
Kotick and the board out of panic for losing their money makers ( remember 3arc didn't have a own sub IP at this point) looked for a reason to break the agreement they had with Vince and Jason since they delivered on their part with the incredible success of MW2. What happened was is that Kottick fired them for a breach of trust and also didn't pay them and the other devs the royalties for MW2. Shortly after the huge IW exodus happened with like 50% of the team leaving with Vince and Jason. They formed Respawn Entertainment shortly after.

Posted this to the CoD subreddit and the mods took it down shortly thereafter. Gotta maintain that echo chamber!

Call of duty lost its identity years ago, so I don't even know why he's bothering with this. Other than stating the already obvious fact everyone knows at this point. You're either into this or you're not. I stopped caring for the series after og MW2 and never looked back. Made me all more happier for it.

This article I found fascinating: about how the gaming experiences around the world are informed by local circumstances and how historians tend to not focus on that and instead focus on the big hits sold in the major markets.

If you want an example that I myself have considered, I remember how GameTrailers back in the day had a retrospective of Final Fantasy, dutifully mentioning in that history that Final Fantasy I, IV and VI became I, II and III until they started numbering consistently from VII, and nowhere in the series did they mention that VII was the first title released in Europe. As an American outlet it is natural they focussed on the American perspective but it did affect the way I saw the history without knowing I wouldn't have been part of that history had I cared about video games back then.
